Serhiy Lebid (Ukrainian: Сергій Лебідь; born July 15, 1975 in Dnipropetrovsk) is a Ukrainian long-distance runner.

He has won the European Cross Country championships on nine occasions, winning in 1998, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2010.

Serhiy Lebid finished seventh in the 5,000 m at the 2000 Olympic Games, but did not qualify from his heat in the same event at the 2004 Olympics.

He won a bronze medal in the 5,000 m final at the 2002 European Athletics Championships in Munich and came fifth in the 10,000 m at the 2006 European Athletics Championships.

Lebid came third at the Great Manchester Run in May 2010. In October he was the best performing European at the Giro al Sas 10K in Trento as he finished third behind Edwin Soi and Wilson Busienei with a time of 28:48.3. He won his record ninth title in the men's race at the 2010 European Cross Country Championships, taking the lead in the final stages after a moderately paced start. This also extended his appearance record at the championships – he is the only athlete to have competed every year since the championships' creation in 1994. He secured a second career win at the Lotto Cross Cup Brussels later that month, holding off the Kenyan challengers. A fourth-place finish at the Great Edinburgh Cross Country in January helped the Europeans to the team title, and he was the first European home at the Cross Internacional de San Sebastián with a third-place finish.
